Numbers - they do? The phonetic alphabet is NATO standard, but I've never encountered a standard number pronunciation!

I assume its NATO standard, at least it's the way I was taught in the US Army. I don't think I've ever put enough thought into it to see if it's the same. The numbers is what I always had problems with though, due largely to my extremely pronounced Texas drawl. It just isn't natural to me to do that much freakin annunciating. For example ...... if you wanted to say KHYI 95.3 FM (the radio station I happen to be listening to at the moment) .... youd say "Kilo Hotel Yankee India Niner Fife Dayseemal Tree Foxtrot Mike" As an aside, most civilian law enforcement, fire, EMT and etc use an entirely different phonetic alphabet.

The U.S, has been criticized for problems in communication between responders during 9/11 and Katrina. I know it sounds trivial but the Federal and Local governments use different phonetic alphabets? God bless buracracy.

Yeah, we were taught number pronunciation at the Field Artillery Officer Basic Course. I don't believe that Niner is correct any longer, however.

That makes sense out the old story about the British Airways captain inquiering about the Indian gentleman usurbing the communication. Actually it was West - Texan for "Roger Tower".
